    AfroBlue, Gerri Allen Trio, H.U. Jazz Ensemble; et

    by HillcrestSouth on 4/11/14Cramton Auditorium - Washington

    A Touch of Blue, offshoot and different generations of AfroBlue alumni was worth hearing too. The featured jazz pianist and composer Gerri Allen and her accompanying Dashiell father on bass and son on drums, anchored the affair with an extended piano piece that transformed into changing tempos and time signatures interweaving classical with traditional and avant garde. The selections by the Howard University Jazz Ensemble highlighted the strong and confident playing of their drummers and horn players, not to forget the piano, guitars and bass. Again featuring alumni and seasoned journeymen, already fixtures in the extended jazz community. An unusually-long but welcome concert was closed with the venerable and beloved Hugh Masekela who walked and talked and carried his students through 2 classic pieces, ending with his own 'Grazing in the Grass' .

    Howard University Jazz Appreciation Month Concert

    by Maxximum on 4/10/14Cramton Auditorium - Washington

    This concert was one of the highlights of this years Jazz Appreciation Month in my opinion. First of all the venue and seating are comfortable and the sound is great. The night began with a performance by Howard University's a capella groups Afro Blue in celebration of their new CD release. Next up Howard University's Traces of Blue another a capella group who I seen on NBC's "The Sing-Off." The energy ramped up with Howard Alumnus and virtuoso pianist Geri Allen performing in a Trio setting. After a brief intermission the evening continued with more World Class music from the Howard University Jazz Ensemble, the Howard University Jazz Ensemble Alumni Band and a Grand Finale performance by the Legendary Hugh Masekela. I learned that the Jazz Studies program at Howard University was established by the late Donald Byrd in 1970, and is one of a relatively small programs offering a Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies. If the April 14, 2014 performance these young people was any indication of the quality of the Howard University program, I believe that Jazz is in good hands.

    by kayjm on 4/10/14Cramton Auditorium - Washington

    This event brought together some of the most talented and gifted groups that I have ever seen. The organization and performances were beyond belief. The show ran one hour beyond which I had expected and I was spell bound the entire time.

    The performances were all superb. I would've given this 5 stars were it not for the attempt at providing a storyline to this otherwise great show.
